Update 20th May

 KING HARMON MATCHPLAY COMPETITION- The draw for this competition has now been made and for the first time in several years it is back to its traditional format of straight knockout one on one matches from start to finish. There are a few names in for a preliminary round to be completed by the 3rd of June - Jason Beirne vs Pat Conroy, Liam Whyte vs Killian Egan, Pat Brogan vs Padraic O'Connell, and Paul Connolly vs Owen Garvin.

INTERCLUBS - Well done to Michael Simon's Seniors team who had a great win against Co Sligo Golf Club (Rosses Point) during the week. Kevin O'Connor and Pat Conroy had a good win in Boyle. Michael McHale and Liam Whyte suffered some bad luck in a narrow loss in Boyle, but there was a chunk of light when we heard that Charlie O'Donnell had secured a tight half in their match in the Point and later there was genuine delight when we heard that Michael Simon and Martin Sweeney had secured a vital away win in Rosses Point, thus securing the overall result for Boyle and progressing to round 2.

Hard luck to our Pierce Purcell team who lost to a strong Strandhill team at the weekend.

Our next interclub matches will be the Senior's team in round 2 of the Fred Perry Cup and our Mixed Foursomes team in their first round in mid June.

FIXTURES - Next weekends competition for the men is the Bart Moran Cup and there will be a Fourball Betterball played over the June Bank Holiday weekend. The big competition in June for the men is of course the Presidents Prize on Sunday the 23rd. The men's Thursday evening competition continues as a 12 hole Stableford.

GOLF LESSONS - The ladies Get into Golf groups continue from 5.30 to 8.30 for the next few Wednesdays and Junior Golf is ongoing with a slightly extended time of 10.30-12 for the next few Saturdays.
